Numerous methods exist to model and analyze the different roles,
responsibilities, and process levels of information technology (IT)
personnel. However, most methods neglect to account for the
rigorous application and evaluation of human errors and their
associated risks. This book fills that need. Modeling, Evaluating,
and Predicting IT Human Resources Performance explains why it is
essential to account for the human factor when determining the
various risks in the software engineering process. The book
presents an IT human resources evaluation approach that is rooted
in existing research and describes how to enhance existing
approaches through strict use of software measurement and
statistical principles and criteria. Discussing IT human factors
from a risk assessment point of view, the book identifies,
analyzes, and evaluates the basics of IT human performance. It
details the IT human factors required to achieve desired levels of
human performance prediction. It also provides a rigorous
investigation of existing human factors evaluation methods,
including IT expertise and Big Five, in combination with powerful
statistical methods, such as failure mode and effect analysis
(FMEA) and design of experiment (DoE). Supplies an overview of
existing methods of human risk evaluation Provides a detailed
analysis of IT role-based human factors using the well-known Big
Five method for software engineering Models the human factor as a
risk factor in the software engineering process Summarizes emerging
trends and future directions In addition to applying well-known
human factors methods to software engineering, the book presents
three models for analyzing psychological characteristics. It
supplies profound analysis of human resources within the various
software processes, including development, maintenance, and
application under consideration of the Capability Maturity Model
Integration (CMMI) process level five.

Since 1990 the International Workshop on Software Measurement
(IWSM) has been celebrated annually in Montr eal (Qu ebec), Canada,
and di?erent places all over Germany by turns. The Montr eal
editions were organized by the Soft- 1 ware Engineering Research
Laboratory (GELOG) of the Ecole de technologie sup erieure (ETS) at
the University of Qu ebec at Montr eal (UQAM), which is directed by
Professor Alain Abran. The German editions were organized 2 jointly
by the Software Measurement Laboratory (SMLAB) of the Otto-von-
Guericke-UniversityMagdeburg, Germany,
whichisdirectedbyProfessorReiner R. Dumke; and the German-speaking
user association for software metrics and 3 e?ort estimation (DASMA
e. V.) . Partially, the editions of IWSM were held jointly with the
DASMA Software Metrik Kongress (MetriKon). 4 Organized by an
initiative of Jos e Javier Dolado from the University of 5 the
Basque Country at San Sebastian and Juan J. Cuadrado-Gallego from
the University of Alcal a in Madrid the ?rst edition of the
International Conference onSoftwareMeasurement(Mensura) couldbe
convenedin C adiz, Spainin 2006. Motivated by this success and with
the ?rst edition of Mensura ?nding special approval, the organizers
of IWSM and Mensura decided to complement each other and, thus, to
organize the next conference edition together. In November 2007,
the typical convention month for both conferences, that joint
conference was held in Palma de Mallorca, Spain."
Since 1990 the International Workshop on Software Measurement
(IWSM)has th been held annually and is now in its 19 edition. The
International Conference on Software Process and Product
Measurement (Mensura) was initiated in 2006 and is now in its third
edition. The editions of IWSM/Mensura have been c- bined since 2007
to foster research, practice and exchange of experiences and best
practices in software processes and products measurement. The 2009
e- tionswereheldduringNovember4-6,2009inAmsterdam,
organizedjointlywith 1 The Netherlands Association for Software
Measurement (NESMA) and kindly 2 hosted by Hogeschool van Amsterdam
. Today the pressure for more e?cient software development
processes del- ering appropriate quality is constantly increasing.
But who knows how e?cient one's own current development process
actually is and whether the quality of delivered products is really
appropriate? Did we substantially improve with all the improvement
e?ort spent? How can we answer all these questions if not by
measuring both software processes and software products?
Softwaremeasurement is a key technologywith which to manageand to
c- trol software development projects. Measurement is essential of
any engineering activity, by increasing the scienti?c and technical
knowledge for both the pr- tice of software development and for
empirical research in software technology.
